Picked up a growler of this at the restaurant. Pours a golden color with a nice head that stays for a while. Smells very hoppy and citrusy. This beer has a nice mouthfeel and good carbination. This is more of an IPA than a pale. The average abv makes this beer very drinkable. An all around good beer.

Originally reviewed on January 24, 2005. On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear autumn gold, with a sticky white head. Buttery orange apricot aroma. Piquant. Flavor os bright crisp clean hop sugars and lime rind. Hopalicious, yet balanced and reformed. Not out of control. One of the overall hoppiest Pales Ales Ive had in a while, but it has that lucious smooth saccharin sweetness that an IPA like AleSmith brings. Lucious and bright. Noticeable diacetyl brings it town a touch.

This pours a clear copper color with a nice white 2-finger head that sticks around for a while.
The smell is extreme hops. Northern hops I think. I immediately thought this was more of an IPA.
Then I tasted it and definately thought this was more of an IPA. Holy hops. The amount of hop character in this beer is amazing. I think Chum (masterbrewer) might have kicked this batch up a bit. It's awesome. I've had this beer before and there is always a good amount of hops in it but this one is a bit more it seems. I like it.
Good mouthfeel, medium body.
Very drinkable. If you are ever in Marquette, MI stop into the Vierling and Marquette Harbor Brewery and try this. Matter of fact, try em all.

On-tap at the brewpub: Light golden chill hazed hue with a smallish white capping of fluffy froth. Lace is minimal in spots.
Aroma of slight twisted pine and citric sourness thats a bit light and missing a bigger hop edge and malt backing. Taste is clean and crisp with a nice pine sap hop mixed with a finely added citrus of orangy-lemon pith. A toasty middle smoothes off the citrus but it then returns again in the finishing areas to a decent bittering bite of orangey pine sap. Feel is crisp and full in the front, keeps smooth and drops off some after the intial bursts of flavors but maintains a creamy sweetened toasty malt and favorable hop bite thats very manageable and makes for one super nice session Pale. A Great drinker!
